Tampons: The New Cheap of Arts & Crafts for Every Holiday Season!

For those of you who are cheap poor during the holiday times but want to do something for decorations, what is the usual fare? For garland strands, you have popcorn, macaroni, paper, and cheerios/fruit loops that tend to be most popular with the kiddies, and if you're seeking to go that extra mile, you can dry apples to make those creepy little figurines, paint rocks, carve cork...the options appear limitless!

....And they certainly are.

I recently discovered an adorable little site, Tampon Crafts, that specializes in low-cost holiday decorative ideas, complete with photo step-by-step directions.

It shows you how to make stuff like the tampon blow gun that's made out of, guess what? Tampons! Pretty creative, but do you really want to blow on that?

You can make bats, Christmas "lights", a turkey, a menorah, snowflakes, bells, Easter bunnies, heart-shaped earrings, cuff links, and even....




A TOUPEE!




My personal favorite is the ghost.



Totally adorable, and then you realize you're looking at a tampon with eyes.


But the creme de la creme of this site, by far, has to be the Pan flute.

There's a video!
